<h2>Answer:</h2>

4.2 C

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The charge (Q) moving is the product of the current(I) flowing through the torso of the person and the time taken (t) for the flow.

i.e

Q = I x t

Where;

I = current = 14.0A

t = time taken  = 0.0300s

Substituting the values of I and t into the equation above gives

Q = 14.0 x 0.0300

Q = 4.2 C

Therefore quantity of charge moving is 4.2 C

Goryan [66]

Answer:

(9.64 +- 0.86) m/s^2

Explanation:

The generic motion equation for constant acceleration is

x = X0 + v0 * t + \frac{1}{2}*a * t^2

Where

X0: initial position

v0: initial speed

a: acceleration

t: time

If the object has an initial speed of zero, and the frame of reference is set conveniently so that the object initial position is zero, the equation simplifies to:

x = \frac{1}{2}*a * t^2

And the acceleration can be obtained as:

a = 2*\frac{x}{t^2}

Where x is the distance fallen and a = g.

So, with the data x = (100.0 +- 0.03) mm and t = (144 +- 3) ms we can calculate

g = 2*\frac{100}{144^2} = 9.64e-3 \frac{mm}{ms^2} = 9.64 \frac{m}{s^2}

For the uncertainty we have to calculate the relative uncertainties first

For the distance (100 * 0.3)/100 = 0.3%

For the time (100 * 3)/144 = 2.08%

For multiplications or divisions the relative uncertainties are added

0.3% + 2.08% + 2.08% = 4.46%

We convert this into absolute uncertainty:

(9.64e-3 * 4.46)/100 = 0.00043 mm/(ms^2)

Finally, this is multiplied by a constant scalar, so:

2 * 0.00043 mm/(ms^2) = 0.00086 mm/(ms^2)

We convert the units

0.86 m/(s^2)

And the measurement is (9.64 +- 0.86) m/s^2

A better method is putting the ball in a ramp instead of a free fall, that way the fall is longer and the effect of time measuring uncertainty is reduced.

Why is acceleration called vector quantity
MrRissso [65]
Because it has both magnitude and direction. When an object has positive acceleration, the acceleration occurs in the same direction as the movement of the object.
